Hat da etwa jemand am Hals gesäbelt?

Die Engländer hatten ja auch ein Äquivalent zu Arminius, ihre Königin Boudicca.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boudicca-Aufstand

Nachdem die römischen Besatzer unter Decianus sie ausgepeitscht hatten und ihre beiden Töchter geschändet hatten, besiegte sie die IX. Legion unter Quintus Petilius Cerialis. Leider wurde sie dann bei der Schlacht an der Watling Street 61 n.Chr. auf offener Ebene (nie gut bei Römern) von der XIV. und XX. Legion unter Suetonius Paulinus besiegt.

Nero hatte schon daran gedacht, sich ähnlich wie aus Germanien auch aus England wieder zurück zu ziehen. Wäre das damals der Fall gewesen, hätten wir bis heute nicht die Probleme mit den Engländern und sie würden sich ihren germanischen und keltischen Brüdern in D und F viel verbundener fühlen.

Was für ein Weib! Groß und lange wilde rote Haare!

She wore colourful clothes and she
Was tall and strong and loud.
She had a mane of long red hair.
You’d spot her in a crowd.

She and her husband the King ruled
A place where Norfolk is today.
The king made a deal with the Romans
And paid them to stay away.

When the king died though
Things did not go as planned.
The Romans decided to claim
All the king’s wealth and land.

They came and stole from the Britons
Who were angry at being cheated.
What’s more the Romans were violent -
The queen and her daughters mistreated.

Queen Boudica was quite outraged;
She had never been angrier.
She summoned all of the tribes to
A place now called East Anglia.

"We can't let them do this to us!"
She said, "It isn’t right.
Let's get an army together
And let’s give the Romans a fight!"

So all of the tribes joined forces,
They were led by the red-haired Queen
It was the biggest army that
Britain had ever seen.
(80.000)

Boudica’s army marched around
And they attacked town after town.
Wherever they found Romans lived
They burned their houses down.

In the end though the Britons lost,
And the Romans were the winners.
The Romans were well-trained soldiers,
And the Britons, just beginners.

And Boudicca's massive army
Suffered its final defeat
Well beaten by the Romans at
The Battle of Watling Street.

Yes Boudica lost in the end,
The Romans won, it's true,
But Boudica had scared them
And taught them a lesson or two.

Yes they regretted they’d crossed her,
They paid a price for being mean
To the Britons, and the princesses,
And the mighty Warrior Queen.

Zum Schluß hatten die Römer angeblich nur 400 Mann Verluste und die Engländer 80.000.
